In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns sits down for a second interview with the remarkably ambitious JJ Curry (Jafar Curry Jr.), the creative force behind WTIH Studios. At just 18 years old, JJ is a published author, athlete, and aspiring linguist who is dedicated to using his platform to inspire others to “work till it hurts” in pursuit of their passions.
JJ shares the exciting next chapter of his journey: he is moving to Preston, England, on a basketball and academic scholarship to study international business. Despite this big move, his commitment to his Lakeland roots and his creative projects remains stronger than ever.
Whether you’re a young entrepreneur, an athlete, or someone looking for a spark of motivation, JJ’s story is a powerful reminder that age is no barrier to impact. 118
